Visibility
What you can see
The workspace shows indexed catalogues, matching products, source passages and a review queue. Catalogue ingestion status makes it clear which documents have been processed.
Anonymised application build
Find the right specification without hunting through PDFs.
This catalogue intelligence app turns a collection of product PDFs into a searchable workspace. Staff can look up part numbers, search by requirements and compare products, with links back to the source pages.
The workflow
From repeated work
to a clear process.
A customer asks for a particular capacity, size or feature. The answer may sit across several catalogues, and someone has to check both the specification and where it came from.
- 01
Index the catalogues
Read PDFs page by page, detect duplicate pages and organise product, model and specification records.
- 02
Search and compare
Look up exact part numbers or describe a requirement. Review matching products and compare up to four sets of specifications side by side.
- 03
Check the evidence
Open the cited catalogue page to verify a result. Review uncertain extractions before relying on them in customer work.
Human control
Where you decide
Source documents remain the reference for checking an answer. Claude-assisted answers and extraction are available when configured; local search also works without the AI connection. This proof of concept does not issue quotations or write to an ERP.
A practical fit
Who this could help
A working proof of concept for distributors and technical sales teams that answer product questions from supplier catalogues. Production use would add the required access controls, scale and business-system integrations.
